I love hats! I love knitting them and I love designing them and I love wearing them. Each hat that I design becomes a little mini challenge in doing something new for me. This is the case with the foliage hat. I really wanted to do something that combined colorwork and cables and with the eBook theme of Harvest, this hat just flew off my fingers.

This hat is knit with 2 strands of lace and it is so soft and cozy that I want to wear it all the time. The hat is knit from the bottom up with a contrast color turning hem that peaks out at the bottom. The cables are worked to look like trees and then some stranding to look like color changing leaves.
